Karramarro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at the charts for Karramarro. This is a point break, and it’s an inconsistent one, so we take what we can get. For the next couple of weeks, it’s looking like a proper dry spell for waves. The swell is just weak and disorganised, with the energy sitting in the low double digits for days on end. It’s the kind of flatness that makes you want to check the forecast again just in case you missed something.

The water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s a nice little bonus for the summer, even if the surf isn't doing much.

We’re looking at a long, quiet run from the 15th through to the 24th. From Saturday the 15th right up to Monday the 24th, there’s really nothing doing. The swell is under 3 feet, the periods are short, and the energy is weak—mostly below 100 in the morning and barely creeping up in the arvos. Some of those days are glassy, which is torture because the ocean looks perfect but there’s just nothing breaking. On the 20th, the energy does climb a bit to 150-196, but it’s still a short period swell and just not organised enough to make this inconsistent point work.

Finally, on Tuesday the 25th, we get a slight pulse. The energy jumps to 153, and the morning is glassy with a 3ft NW swell at 10 seconds. The wind is light easterly, which is offshore here. It’s still pretty ordinary, but at least it’s surfable. That’s the first real option, but I wouldn’t be rushing out for it.

The next day, Wednesday the 26th, is a bit better. We see the energy build to 232 in the morning with a clean, glassy surface and a 3ft NW swell. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a bit soft, but it’s the most promising we’ve had in a while. For a break that’s inconsistent, it might just be worth a look.

Now, the one true standout in this whole window is Thursday the 27th. The early morning on the 27th is where it’s at. The wind is light, glassy, and the swell is coming from the NW at 4ft with an 11-second period. The energy is solid at 326, which is strong enough to give this point some proper shape. This is the day for the advanced crew that knows this break. It matches that NW optimum, and while the afternoon will be wrecked by a cross-shore breeze, the morning will have some clean, lined-up sets. This is the pick of the fortnight.

After that, we settle back down. The 28th and 29th are only just surfable, and the 30th sees the wind swing onshore and chop things up. So, in short, don't hold your breath for the next week and a half, keep an eye on Thursday the 27th for the best chance at a decent wave, with Wednesday the 26th being the backup.
